Do you care about what an artist wears at your show?

I do 😭 and it matters A LOT to me! Granted, I'm going to enjoy the show regardless (I wouldn't have purchased a ticket if that were even up for question), but I want to see the artist in what I consider their best look! It's just a preference, honestly, and I rarely see people talk about it. by @ko.maris
